How Scotland Dressed the World

See all formats and editions

This is my love letter to the nation that gives us the blueprint for international style. From Grace Kelly in her Pringle of Scotland twinset to Cher and Dionne tartan-twinning in Clueless, it all returns to Alba. In How Scotland Dressed the World, Lynne Coleman explores the country's rich cultural impact on the modern world.

Telling the tales of the cloth that covers continents and how it has been woven into political and economic movements.

No matter what style tribe you subscribe to, this book shows how it all starts in Scotland.

From 'gallus' and 'peely-wally', to 'tartan-punk' and Ralph Lauren's 'preppy chic', whoever you are, however you dress, you will always have a piece of Scotland with you - even if it's only in the lining of your wellies!
